Loved this tasty and hearty omelette! The peas I thought I had were nowhere to be found so I had to leave them out, but will definitely add next time. I used leftover recipe #482969 for my potatoes and the flavors were terrific. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for ZWT8, Chefs gone WILD!

This a wonderful omelette, I was leary about using the potatoes in it, but they are a nice addition, now the peas - well I don't like peas. So the next time the peas can be in my husband's omelette. Only changes I made was I used olives with pimentos and I actually used egg beaters. Nice hint on how to flip the whole omelette without folding it. This is important as this is a hefty omelette. I liked the tomato sauce on top, I think it makes the omelette.
